A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in modules (Fig. 1). The TM500-series mainframes are 1970s vintage, but like a lot of old test equipment, can still work ...

A lifetime of amassing random pieces of test equipment has left me with a gap in my armoury, namely that I don’t possess a low frequency function generator. This could easily be addressed, but for two ...

Unlike digital RF generators that produce only sine waves, function generators can produce repetitive waveforms of different shapes such as sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse. Function ...

A description of a four-phase RC oscillator of a sinusoidal and rectangular shape is given. A triangular-shaped signal is obtained by the counterphase addition of half-waves of sinusoidal signals ...

I don’t have a signal generator, or more specifically I don’t have a low frequency signal generator or a function generator. Recently this fact collided with my innocent pleasure in buying cheap stuff ...

Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...
